= Female suffrage has made much great
er progress in England than in this coun-
try. The National Society for Women's
Suffrage reports that at the last general
election there were returned Bal members
of the House OF Commons pledged to sup
port the admission of qualified women to
the franchise. This is a substantial ma
jority of that body, and but for the pres
ure of more important issues upon the at
tention of the House some legislation in
the direction of female suffrage would
probably ere this have been enacted.
= The last General Assembly of Ala
bama established a State university for
colored people, to be located at the town

tween Montgomery and Birmingham. the
former offering five thousand dollars in
money and three acres of land, the latter
offering three thousand dollars and six
acres of land. A petition, numerously
signed by the white citizens of Birming-
ham, opposing the location of the universe
ty in that city, was presented. The great
bulk of donations offered by both cities
was voluntary subscriptions by colored
people.
Says the Greenville NeWs: The Cane
Greek, n. c., section is u favorite haunt
for the Mormon elders, and whenever they
come into the mountains they make their
rendezvous there. On Saturday, the
23rd ultimO, a Baptist preacher, with
more or less muscular Christianity about
him, took up an X helve and drove three
Of the Latter Day Saints out of the CON-
munity, not giving them time to 60 to the
postoffice for their mail. Their address,
however, was taken, and a promise was
made to forward their letters to them at
a certain point in East Tennessee. This
preachers name is Hilliard, and he is
more or less known throughout the western
section of the State. No converts left with
them, and none are made so far as is
known.
"a lively row has developed at Clarks-
= vile, CAT over the question of wearing
bustles. The manager of the wooden mills
at that place issued an order forbidding
any of the female employees to wear bus
ties while at work in the factory, for the
reason that there is danger of their dresses
being caught in the looms. On Friday
morning a young girl went to her work
with a hustle on. Her boss scolded her,
and, it is said, spoke very roughly to her
and put her out of the house. While pass
ing the house of the girls father, the boss
was hailed by her brother and another
man. He refused to talk to them about
the case, and they knocked him down
twice, once with a rock, and as he was get
ting up he was knocked back with a stick.
The men left at once and have not been
heard from.

have had q religious "encampment for the
past ten days. Beauvoir, his home, is
only q few miles distant. Each year he
receives an invitation to attend, with his
family. After Mrs. Sarah F. Chaplin had
made a rousing temperance speech, Mr..

heartily in sympathy with your great
cause. He left for home wearing the sill

Speaker Carlisle has been interviewed
on the political situation, and he says the
denomination Of President Cleveland twill
be the Wisest and best thing the Democratic
party can do" and that 'if nominated he
will be elected, no matter who may be his
opponent" Mr.. Carlisle hopes for the pas
sage by the next Congress of a revenue
reform bill, in order to do which he says
the Democratic revenue reformers ''are
willing to meet their political associates
of all shades of opinion upon this subject
in caucus, and support such measures of
revision and reduction as the majority
may agree upon after a full and free inter-
change of views" Mr.. Carlisle does not
attach much importance to the labor move
ment as a factor in the next Presidential
campaign.
AT the special election to be held in
Texas tomorrow, the people of the State
will be called upon to vote upon six pro-
posed amendments to their constitution.
